You're an engineer, you figger out how we can use a battery/generator/power source for a TV. You can't spell or be grammatically correct with any reliable frequency ( :oops: :roll: ;)OZZIE4DUKE wrote:I am pretty sure one of our cars will be near the tent.CameronBornAndBred wrote:One drawback about the new location is without a vehicle parked next to the tent, there is no power for a tv.

), so you should be able to come up with a solution for this dilemma.Ozzie's so smart. I'm sure he can think of something. Maybe run a power cord from his house.devildeac wrote:You're an engineer, you figger out how we can use a battery/generator/power source for a TV.

Don't count on me for an electrical solution OR a high degree of grammatical reliability either, I'm just a plumber...

Bring a satellite dish. That's how the true tailgaters do it. I can take pics at the my first game this year if you want.captmojo wrote:Not to be overlooked is the fact fact that the television must be equipped with a digital tuner.
I bought one of those converters (using the gov'ts coupon) "just in case" I ever needed it. It needs 120 VAC to run, but it could be plugged into whatever we're powering the TV with, IF we are powering the TV with AC.captmojo wrote:Not to be overlooked is the fact fact that the television must be equipped with a digital tuner.
Come to think of it, TNTdevil had a satellite dish last year at the brunchgates.Sue71 wrote:Bring a satellite dish. That's how the true tailgaters do it.

Yup, it was awesome once we found the signal. He can tell you about that nightmare.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:Come to think of it, TNTdevil had a satellite dish last year at the brunchgates.Sue71 wrote:Bring a satellite dish.

Yes, I have, and will be bringing, the good old DirecTV back for the '09 season. (F/R/T, it was somewhat of a nightmare but, it had mainly to do with several causes, mainly related to DirecTV not "recognizing" my receiver.) I'll not have that problem this year as I fully intend to have it "activated" prior to the Richmond tailgate. Then the only issue will be finding the signal. Which we discovered is greatly simplified once you have an "active" receiver. :oCameronBornAndBred wrote:Yup, it was awesome once we found the signal. He can tell you about that nightmare.
I was thinking if it's local a regular digital tv should pick it up if the antennae is built in to it.

Also, I'm considering investing in a small, portable generator to power our entertainment and possibly a fan during our tailgates.
OANN, I'm not backing away from the brisket but, to do so I'm gonna' have to be in the lot about 9am unless we want to eat at half-time :shock: ! Ozzie, how early will they let me into the Card Gym lot?
Day-umm, that means... we're INTERNATIONAL!OZZIE4DUKE wrote: I have sent an email asking about 9 a.m. entry.
On another note, Bob Green plans to join our Brunchgate on 10/24! He will win the prize for the longest distance traveled!
Ymm Brisket!Yes that's no problem, we will be setting up at 9

In my PM conversation with him, I told him that there were many who looked forward to meeting him!CameronBornAndBred wrote:Soo cool!

Here's what I can do. Since TNT is now making this officially a brunchgate by being there insanely earlyTNTDevil wrote:You are the MAN!OZZIE4DUKE wrote:9 a.m. is a go!Ymm Brisket!Yes that's no problem, we will be setting up at 9
I'll head out from the beach earlier, hit the lots, drop off my stuff, see if TNT needs anything, and then go see my dad. Then I'll be back to the lots early afternoon.
